No one here is suggesting Telecom are capable of providing faster uploads than the technology allows, and you are correct 700-800 ADSL1 depending on drop off and a tad faster on DSL2 also depending on drop off. Telecom are deliberate restricting uploads to to a puney 128k to protect there Standard Voice service from VOIP. They offer faster uploads at extra cost which is milking it, FS/512 can be provided at the same cost as FS/128. Most countries with ADSL are not restricted to 128K on standard plans. Don't get the issue confused. |

Don't get the issue confused . I already know this - I was replying to Terry Porrit, who stated that our slow upload speeds were nothing to do with Telecom . This is incorrect - Telecom are the party responsible for the 128k upload caps . What issue are you suggesting I am confused about? |

| 679182 | 2008-06-19 00:48:00 | The original question included: "Why is the upload speed so much slower than the download speed ?" That is what I was responding to, and Telecom has nothing to do with why DSL is Asymmetric. Limiting to 128kbps with certain plans is another separate question. When I signed up with Orcon I could have gone FS/FS, but opted for FS/128kbs, it's what you pay for, surely ? |

| 679183 | 2008-06-19 01:03:00 | Aaah, gotcha - I thought you were talking about the 128k limit, as that was the main subject of the original post. It would seem we agree :). Certainly the reasons *why* Telecom imposes such a low upload limit (unless you pay them stacks) makes for an interesting discussion. |
